Hercules's Charm Is His Greatest Strength

5-Year-Old Hercules Will Reward You For Extra Attention

Our Q101/PAWS Chicago Pet of the Week is 5-year-old Hercules. This handsome grey-and-white boy came to PAWS Chicago as a very sick stray through our Community Outreach program. Hercules is FIV+ and FeLV+, which meant that catching a cold hit him much harder with a suppressed immune system. 

Hercules spent a few weeks at PAWS Chicago's Little Village Medical Center while the medical team got Hercules back to his happy, healthy self! Now, he's living it up in foster care while he looks for a home. 

His foster reports that Hercules loves to share your bed, enjoys being brushed and he uses the cutest little meows to charm everyone he meets. 

Hercules is excited to live the life of an indoor cat now! Because of his compromised immune system, he needs regular visits to the vet, but he will reward you with snuggles, purrs and plenty of love. 

Read more about Hercules on his adoption page and with a couple of clicks, you can start the process of expanding your family by four paws.
